I used my PC for recording. I have an Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96 audio card and Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0. I just plugged the bass directly into the 1/4" input on the audio card's breakout box and enabled the built in preamp. For the drums I used my Roland R-5 drum machine plugged into another one of the 1/4" inputs without the preamp enabled.

I've been wanting to get a BTB. The 1005 is a tad too expensive for my frugal tastes, but the 405 looks scrumptious. It uses the same electronics as the others, sounds great, and I've never heard a horror story about it like the SRs (even though I kind of like them as well.) But I couldn't believe how much this BTB blew away my MIM P. Totally awesome bass. I'm getting one as soon as I get a new amp. Of course that'll be a cold day in hell, since I have about $200 saved up now, and the amp I want is $650. Plus I need another $600 for the bass. Oh well. Patience, my friend, patience.........
